by Lee Young-Hee

A high school dropout and a pocket picking delinquent find themselves bound together by an undeniable attraction.

Han Sae-Lee is every girl's dream: tall, dark, and handsome, with a whole lot of attitude. He knows he's a catch, but right now he's more interested in catching a brazen, blond brat and teaching him a lesson or two. Looks like every girl's dream man has some growing pains to go through.

Bold and edgy—the first boys' love story from Korea that is sure to entice the senses.

Strange art work, a lot of violence and a GREAT possible couple!!!
I said possible couple because it's too soon to say something

nothing happened... a lot of sexual tension, but well, I must read more to know
:-D

BTW my favorite thing about this manga???
Moto's eyes...

so expressive, and pretty... love it!
5 stars

This manga is probably one of the best I've ever read and the sad thing is: it's not finished, yet. I read that the author is sick and that she's not able to go on with the manga at the moment =/ Too bad.

Back to topic:
I loved the characters. There's Moto, the young but thieving guy who's in trouble all the time. He finds shelter in Hansae's apartment. Hansae's is kinda starry-eyed and not really happy about his new flatmate in the beginning. But he's growing fond of him and one can sense a sexual tension between Hansae and Moto.

I so hope they get together in the end!!!♥ Best couple ever!

I picked this one up because of the art and kept reading because of the angst-ful plot and the how that artist/ author still manages to make things... funny.

Note: This series was/ is licensed by DramaQueen but not available for some reason. A pity because it's a good series and I know people (myself included) who are eager to buy it in english...

I wanted this book/series for a long time. Dramaqueen did a rare re-release and I got it the second time out but I don't think they did the rest of the series which is a shame. I love the artwork, gorgeous!

Sympathique relecture de ce Manwha dont je ne me souvenais plus trop de l’histoire depuis le temps. Elle est à la fois drôle mais aussi un peu moins due à certains thèmes délicats qui y sont mentionnés.

J'ai été attaché aux personnages dès le début. L’alchimie tumultueuse, dans un premier temps entre les deux protagonistes, fonctionne et on espère voir plus de cette relation étrange qui se prépare.

J'ai aimé redécouvrir cette série que je sais malheureusement inachevée mais que je vais tenter de re-savourer le temps des tomes que j’ai en ma possession.

Diciamo che ancora deve prendere il via... Disegni bellissimi. Vediamo con il secondo volume come va.

From a subway mugging to roommates. So far this is a pretty interesting story and I love the artwork.

Voila un bon mahnwa ! Les perso sont attachants, les dessins sont beaux et l'histoire, bien que classique pour le moment, est rigolote et sympathique. Vivement la suite !!!
